Yep!
You would not be alone in that experience.
This is what makes the publishers, music and entertainment organisations so bloody hypocritical. They wave reports with falsified statistics around making "woe is me" statements and not once examine their own business practices in an attempt to meet customers expectations and the current digital economy.
You want the item, you have money to pay for it and if Jack or Jill Customer from Lower Allowable can buy it, why can't you, residing in Outabounds, buy it also?
Hence casual piracy abounds...
Yo ho ho and a torrent of ebooks...
